Hi - can anyone help?
I have just installed a new dvd +/- RW after my daughter broke the previous one. I used the same cables as were already installed in the pc and changed the jumper to master to match what was there previously. (I also have a dvd/cd read only as the slave).
WHen I went to start up the pc I kept getting an error message - keyboard error or no keyboard present. I kept tweaking the lead and tried again about 4 times and then an even worse message has come up on screen -
in addition to the keyboard error one I now get the CUP is unworkable or has been changed. Please recheck - CPU SOFT MENU.
I have looked at other forum posts but wonder what I can do to look at the BIOS etc if I cannot use my keyboard!
I have tried unplugging all the connectors to the new dvd drive incase it was anything to do with that, but it has not made any difference.
For the master/slave bit I get this message (with the dvd unplugged)
IDE Channel 0 Master Maxtor 6Y080L0 YAR41BWO
IDE Channel 0 Slave None
IDE Channel 1 Master None (although info is here if the dvd drive is plugged in)
IDE Channel 1 Slave DVD-ROM DDU1621 VER S3.1
The motherboard is ABIT IC7 and I have Intel Pentium 4
Any suggestions????
